I recently looked into that.

You buy the catalogues, then put them through doors, then pick them up the next day. Some people throw them away, which is throwing your money away, so you need to budget for that. You then order and deliver the items.

For me, it was too much work and outlay for too little return: to get the "big bucks" (ie over $50wk) you need to recruit and manage several people under you, then have them do the same. And just think about the weather while you do this too: you will be out and if you take the baby with you then you really do need to think hydration.

You say your DP is "against daycare": how do you feel about it? If you need more money, either he needs to work more or just accept that if you work then someone has to look after the little one, many jobs are more difficult with a LO in tow. Including catalogue work when LO wants to walk or if the property has dogs etc.
